Edgar de Treville, who was far away in Greece, certainly didn't know that his daughter had just been born. At this time, he was telling the young man in front of him about the arrival of his wife and sister in a passionate and potentially bewitching tone.
Compared to Alice's entanglement, he didn't feel guilty at all - in his opinion, if Agnes could bring benefits to his family, then why not use her? Besides, it wasn't an insult to her.
"She is with you, Your Majesty."
"This is really good news." Aigron was startled for a moment, then laughed, "I think she won't be disgusted with me, right? After all, I took her brother-in-law away from my sister."
"No, you underestimate her. Agnes, like us, is a person who respects grand ambitions. She admires your heroic deeds very much, so she can understand our difficulties... That's why she agreed to Alice's request. Edgar continued to lie without hesitation, "She is also very happy to serve you, Your Majesty."
Although Edgar boasted wildly, it was impossible for Aigron to completely believe him.
Although he and Agnes got along briefly, he also knew Agnes's character and she would not be interested in Bonaparte or the Bourbon family's career.
However, if he can use the Treville family to recruit Agnes, it will be a huge help to him - not to mention Agnes's own skills, she is also very prestigious among the younger generation of nobles, like Andre- Defeated men like Davout feared and respected her. If they could get her service, the young people in Paris would be greatly shocked.
"That's really good news." So, instead of exposing the other party's lies, Aigron continued speaking. "Edgar, if Agnes can join our ranks, it will be a huge gain for us."
Then, he looked at the sea in the distance. The sunlight had changed from dazzling incandescent light to golden yellow. The sun also revealed a vague outline under the fiery red clouds, getting closer and closer to the sea.
This magnificent evening scene just reflected his good mood at the moment.
"You should go and rest first. I think you must be quite tired along the way." He turned around and said to Edgar with a smile. "Let's have dinner here tonight to welcome you."
"Okay, Your Majesty!" Edgar agreed immediately.
He was also in a good mood, because judging from His Majesty's attitude when he mentioned Agnes, he did have a considerable fondness for her - and that meant that there seemed to be room for his plan to be implemented...
------------------------------------------
While Aiglon and Edgar were chatting happily, Andre Davout took Agnes to the top floor of the hotel.
There is an empty room here, and Andre Davout plans to arrange for Agnes to settle here.
Although the entire hotel has been occupied by Aigron and his party, as a female family member, Agnes cannot mix with the guards, so he found this room.
Right next to this room is Chanel's room, and a little further along the corridor is Theresa's bedroom.
Andre walked to the door, opened it, and then looked back at Agnes.
"Miss Agnes, if you don't mind, just rest here for now——"
"It's okay, I don't mind." Before he could finish speaking, Agnes nodded and agreed, "Since you have arranged this place, then let's do it here!"
Then, she looked around at the door, as if confirming the terrain and route here.
At this moment, a girl wearing a maid uniform appeared around the corner.
She was holding a fruit plate in her hands and was about to go to the balcony - and at this moment, her eyes happened to fall on Agnes.
For a moment, her eyes widened in surprise, and the plate in her hand almost fell to the ground. She finally managed to maintain her balance.
"Miss Agnes!" she called softly, "is that you?"
"Hey~ Of course it's me!" Agnes raised her finger and made a cheerful gesture, "Chanel, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Yeah...Long time no see..." Chanel put the fruit plate aside and walked quickly to Agnes, looking at her with surprise and joy, "Why are you here? "
When they first met in Switzerland, Chanel had always had a grudge against Agnes because Agnes and Agron almost had a fight. However, so much time has passed, and of course the original unhappiness has long since disappeared.
Agnes's bold, cheerful and informal character appealed to Chanel very well - she was in the Bavarian court when she was a child, and in the Austrian court when she grew up. No matter where she was, she was used to being bossed around by nobles, and she was accustomed to serving people. For Chanel, Agnes, who was a princess and did not put on airs, was indeed very rare and very fond of her.
"Why did I come here... That's a good question, I'm a little confused myself." Agnes spread her hands regretfully, "If you want to ask, just ask my sister and brother-in-law, why are they giving me so much trouble? ask……"
Then, she roughly told Chanel about how she had accepted the request from her sister and escorted her brother-in-law along the way.
"So that's it..." Chanel finally understood what had happened, and then she looked at Agnes gratefully, "You have really worked hard! You have worked so hard for His Majesty's career, and I think His Majesty will also be grateful to you. "
"Then we have to make it clear that I am not doing it for your Majesty, but just for my own relatives." Agnes replied disapprovingly.
Seeing Agnes's stubborn expression, Chanel chuckled inwardly but said nothing more and looked towards the room. "Is this the place you want to live? That's great...it's right next to me, but no one lives here, so it might be a little dusty. Let me clean it up for you!"
"No need... I actually don't care... besides, I will sort it out myself." Agnes replied quickly.
However, at this time, Chanel had already picked up the broom and rag from the side to tidy up, so Agnes could only helplessly watch Chanel busy.
"Miss Chanel is really enthusiastic." Andre Davout looked on and smiled.
"It's simply too enthusiastic, which makes me feel a little embarrassed." Agnes smiled bitterly.
"This shows that she respects you very much - not everyone is qualified to be treated like this." Andre said in a low voice, "Don't look at her just dressing up as a maid, but she has a transcendent status here, Your Majesty is very He trusted her, entrusted her with important responsibilities, and even officially canonized her as a member of his own knighthood. This is a rare honor."
"Is that so?" Agnes blinked with disbelief on her face. "So Chanel is an honorary knight now?"
"Not only an honorary knight, His Majesty also said that she will be given more rewards in the future to praise her loyalty and dedication." Andre replied with a smile, and then added, "With your ability and prestige , if you are willing, I think you only need to mention it to His Majesty, and he will be happy to canonize you immediately."
"Forget it... I don't care about being a knight or not." Agnes immediately shook her head, "Besides, I can't swallow the breath of surrendering when the outcome is clearly not decided. "
The girl held her head high as she spoke, full of confidence and arrogance, but Andre had other thoughts in his mind - His Majesty told him that he had fought with Agnes, and the result was a tie or even the upper hand. Originally, he had the upper hand. He still didn't believe it in his heart, but now that Agnes had personally confirmed it, he finally believed it completely.
Your Majesty is indeed powerful...
He then remembered that His Majesty had promised him that he would definitely show Agnes some shame when he had the opportunity in the future, so as to avoid his own shame... At this moment, he suddenly started to look forward to it.
If this pair of young men and young girls fight, it will definitely be a grand performance that they have never seen in their lives. It doesn't even matter who wins and who loses - of course, it would be best if His Majesty wins.
"Well, I just said it casually. It all depends on your wishes. If you are not interested, neither His Majesty nor anyone else will force you." Andre smiled and ended the topic.
Although Agnes was very harsh, Andre felt that since everyone was already here, it was impossible to stay out of the matter - not to mention that since Edgar de Treville was already His Majesty's servant, he followed him. How could Agnes have any other choice?
While they were talking, Chanel, who was quick with her hands and feet, had already helped Agnes tidy up the room.
Andre Davout looked around the room and felt quite satisfied.
Starting from today, their team has grown even more. Two young people from famous French aristocratic families have defected to His Majesty's command.
In his view, this is not only an isolated incident, but also a symbol - His Majesty is like the rising sun, rising slowly in France. Although he is thousands of miles away from it now, the morning sun is already dazzling in this country. Shine brightly.
He fully believed that more people would come to defect and serve the successor who had raised the banner.
It's a pity...Princess Theresa has already arrived, otherwise perhaps today's accident would bring even more unexpected good results - Andre Davout suddenly thought to himself.
It's not that he disrespects or underestimates Theresa, but in his heart, compared to a foreign princess he has never met, Agnes, who grew up in Paris and shares the same language and the same experience with them, Much more affectionate in his heart - not to mention, the image of Agnes in his heart is so dazzling that it is even worthy of the rising sun.
It's a pity...it seems too late. He sighed secretly in his heart.
"Okay, my mission has been completed. Now you can settle here. If you have any requests, just ask Chanel." Andre bowed gracefully and said goodbye to Agnes very politely. , then turned and left.
"Miss Agnes, what do you think?" Chanel asked.
Agnes looked around the room, which seemed to have taken on a new look, and nodded gently, "I'm very satisfied, thank you Chanel."
"It's just a matter of duty." Chanel replied with a smile, "Then you can rest here first, and I will go and tell His Majesty——"
"Right now, your Majesty is probably communicating with my brother-in-law. You'd better not disturb them," Agnes reminded Chanel kindly, "Go and do other things first, and wait for them to finish talking. I’ll call you.”
"You're right." Shanel nodded, and then it seemed that she thought of something again.
"Okay... I'll leave first. If you have any instructions, please call me at any time!" She saluted Agnes and then left the room.
Agnes, who was finally alone, was a little tired. She put down the parasol in her hand, then lay back on the bed and closed her eyes to sleep.
After leaving the room, Chanel did not go back to his apartment, but walked along the corridor to the depths, and then knocked on the door.
"Come in." The person inside responded quickly.
Chanel tiptoed into the room, and then respectfully saluted the girl sitting at the desk.
"Chanel, you came just in time." Teresa didn't look at her, but picked up the letter she had just written, read it carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm finally done..."
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with this long article, she put this letter together with the letter that Aiglon had written just now, and then stuffed it into the same envelope.
She will give this letter to the people around her later, and then the courier will make another trip to find a way to deliver it to the not-so-distant Principality of Parma - it is expected to be delivered within a few days.
She didn't know how much attachment Louisa, His Highness's mother, still had to her eldest son in her heart, but she believed that there was no absolute conflict of interest between mother and son. As long as the conditions proposed by both parties were appropriate, there would eventually be a chance to bridge the gap. .
Compared to Agron, who has always been resentful, Teresa doesn't have so much ill will toward Luisa.
Louisa facilitated her own marriage - although her purpose was to find a way for her children, so she ran around; but is this not the case for herself now?
After doing all this, she finally looked at Chanel again.
"Is there something you want to report to me?"
"Your Highness, just now, the son of the Marquis of Treville came to seek refuge with Your Majesty." Chanel lowered his head and reported to her respectfully.
"Treville?" Teresa frowned, seeming to be thinking. "I seem to have heard of this last name...is it from a famous family?"
"Yes." Shanel nodded. "The general has been a loyal advocate for us."
"That's great." Teresa laughed.
"In addition to that gentleman, her sister-in-law was also present...named Agnes."
